The present disclosure relates generally to metal cans having a hydrogen sulfide liquid deposited thereon, wherein the metal can includes a conversion coating deposited on at least a portion of an interior surface thereof and a film-forming layer.
Background
Coatings are applied to many substrates to provide protective and/or decorative qualities. Sulfur dioxide and/or the like, such as metabisulfite, is added to some liquids to stabilize the liquid,preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast. Other liquids may produce sulfur dioxide through metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids or other organic processes. However, sulfur dioxide and/or the like may lead to the production of Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC), such as hydrogen sulfide and H 2 S, the corrosion of the container, the generation of smelly eggs, the pollution of liquid in the metal tank and the like are caused. Accordingly, there is a need for tanks that package such liquids while reducing and/or eliminating hydrogen sulfide and other VSC production.

Detailed Description
In accordance with the present disclosure, there is provided herein a metal can comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of: a conversion coating deposited on at least a portion of the inner surface of the metallic can, wherein the conversion coating comprises a lanthanide, a group VIB metal, a group IIIB metal, a group IVB metal, and/or a homopolymer or copolymer comprising a phosphorus-containing monomeric subunit m1 and optionally no phosphorus monomeric subunit m2; a film-forming layer deposited on at least a portion of the conversion coating; and a hydrogen sulfide generating liquid deposited in the metal can.
As used herein, "conversion coating," composition, and similar terms refer to a self-supporting inorganic continuous or semi-continuous layer formed on the surface of a metallic can via a chemical process of reacting with the surface of the metallic can. "continuous layer" refers to an unbroken layer of conversion coating formed over the entire substrate surface. "semi-continuous layer" means a broken layer, that is, a layer that is discontinuous over its entire surface.
Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the conversion coating disclosed herein reduces oxidation of the metal substrate of the can by the hydrogen sulfide generating liquid, thereby preventing and/or reducing subsequent reduction of sulfur dioxide and other sulfides in the hydrogen sulfide generating liquid. It is believed that inhibiting such reaction between the metal within the canister and free sulfur dioxide in the hydrogen sulfide generating liquid reduces and/or prevents corrosion of the metal canister and contamination of the hydrogen sulfide generating liquid, such as (but not limited to) wine deposited therein.
The term "metal can" encompasses any type of metal can, container, or any type of receptacle or portion thereof that is sealed by a content manufacturer (e.g., a food and/or beverage manufacturer) to minimize or eliminate spoilage of the content until a consumer opens such metal can. The can may comprise "two-piece cans" and "three-piece cans" as well as thin-walled drawn one-piece cans; such unitary cans are commonly used for aerosol products. The metal can may be a food and/or beverage can. The canister may be a one-piece aerosol canister and/or a tube. Suitable examples of integral aerosol cans and/or tubes include, but are not limited to, deodorants and hair spray containers. The metal can may be a metal can bottle.

The metal or metal alloy may comprise or may be steel, aluminium, magnesium and/or alloys thereof. For example, the steel substrate may be cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, electro galvanized steel, and/or hot dip galvanized steel. Aluminum alloys of the 1XXX, 2XXX, 3XXX, 4XXX, 5XXX, 6XXX or 7XXX series, as well as aluminum-clad alloys, may also be used as substrates. The aluminum alloy may include 0.01 wt.% copper to 10 wt.% copper. The treated aluminum alloy may also comprise castings, such as 1XX.X, 2XX.X, 3XX.X, 4XX.X, 5XX.X, 6XX.X, 7XX.X, 8XX.X, or 9XX.X (e.g., A356.0). For example, the metal can may comprise an aluminum alloy of the 3XXX series, such as an aluminum alloy of the AA3104, AA3003, AA3004, AA3005, and/or AA5XXX series. AZ31B, AZ C, AM B or EV31A series magnesium alloy may also be used as the base material. Additionally, the substrate may comprise a non-metallic conductive material comprising a composite material such as, for example, a material comprising carbon fibers or conductive carbon. The substrate may also comprise other suitable non-ferrous metals such as titanium or copper, as well as alloys of these materials.

As used herein, the term "film-forming composition" refers to a composition that generally includes one or more film-forming resins that can form a self-supporting continuous or semi-continuous film on at least one horizontal surface of a substrate upon removal of any diluents or carriers present in the composition or upon curing at ambient or elevated temperatures. Conventional film-forming resins that can be used include, but are not limited to, those typically used in packaging coating compositions. The film-forming composition may comprise a thermosetting film-forming resin or a thermoplastic film-forming resin. As used herein, the term "thermoset" refers to a resin that "cures" irreversibly upon curing or crosslinking, wherein the polymer chains of the polymeric components are linked together by covalent bonds. This property is typically associated with a crosslinking reaction of the composition ingredients, for example, caused by heat or radiation. The curing or crosslinking reaction may also be carried out at ambient conditions. Once cured or crosslinked, thermoset resins will not melt upon application of heat and are insoluble in solvents. As used herein, the term "thermoplastic" refers to a resin that includes polymer components that are not joined by covalent bonds and thus can undergo liquid flow upon heating and is soluble in a solvent.
Ambient conditions generally refer to room temperature and humidity conditions or temperature and humidity conditions typically found in the area where the composition is applied to a substrate, for example, a temperature between 10 ℃ and 40 ℃, a relative humidity between 5% and 80%, such as a temperature between 20 ℃ and 40 ℃, a relative humidity between 20% and 80%, and an elevated temperature is a temperature above ambient temperature.
The film-forming composition may comprise any of a variety of polymers known in the art. In general, these polymers may be any of these types of polymers prepared by any method known to those skilled in the art. Film-forming compositions can include, for example, acrylic polymers, polyester polymers, phenolic resins, epoxy mimetics, laminates, polyurethane polymers, polyamide polymers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, alkyd resins, polyether polymers, polysiloxane polymers, and/or copolymers thereof. The film-forming composition may include a phenolic resin, an epoxy resin, a polyester polymer, an acrylic polymer, and/or a polyolefin polymer. The film-forming composition may include an acrylic polymer. The film-forming layer may include phenolic resins, epoxy resins, polyesters, acrylics and/or polyolefins. The film-forming composition may include an emulsion polymerized latex acrylic material, a solution polymerized latex acrylic material, an amine epoxy polymeric material, or a combination thereof. For example, the film-forming composition may include a core-shell acrylic latex.
The functional groups on the film-forming resin may be selected from any of a variety of reactive functional groups: including, for example, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, epoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, thiol groups, carbamate groups, amide groups, urea groups, isocyanate groups (including, but not limited to, blocked isocyanate groups), thiol groups, and combinations thereof.
The film-forming layer on the metal can have any suitable dry film thickness. For example, the film-forming layer can have a dry film thickness of greater than 2 micrometers (μm), greater than 5 μm, greater than 10 μm, less than 40 μm, less than 30 μm, less than 20 μm, or a combination of ranges using these endpoints. For example, the dry film thickness may be 2 μm to 40 μm,2 μm to 30 μm,2 μm to 20 μm,5 μm to 40 μm,5 μm to 30 μm,5 μm to 20 μm, and the like. The dry film thickness of the film-forming layer was determined using a SENCON SI9600 coating thickness gauge.
As used herein, "hydrogen sulfide-producing liquid" means a liquid, such as sulfite, that contains at least 1 part per million (ppm) of a sulfur source, in which a reaction between an uncoated metal substrate and the sulfur source produces hydrogen sulfide, prior to deposition into a metal can.

In recent years, there has been a new interest in canning wine. Wine is made from yeast fermented grape juice, occasionally other fruit juices. As part of the process of wine fermentation and treatment control, sulfur dioxide and/or the like, such as metabisulfite, is often added to wine to stabilize the wine against the growth of harmful bacteria and yeasts. Accordingly, the hydrogen sulfide generating liquid deposited in the metal can may include wine. The wine may comprise sparkling wine, red wine, white wine or pink wine.

Non-limiting examples of such materials include chromic acid, chromium trioxide, chromic anhydride, dichromates, such as ammonium dichromate, sodium dichromate, potassium dichromate, and calcium dichromate, barium dichromate, magnesium dichromate, zinc dichromate, cadmium dichromate, and strontium dichromate. When the conversion coating composition and/or the coating or layer formed therefrom, respectively, is substantially free, or completely free of hexavalent chromium, this includes any form of hexavalent chromium, such as, but not limited to, the hexavalent chromium-containing compounds listed above.
Thus, optionally, in accordance with the present invention, the conversion composition and/or the coating or layer deposited therefrom, respectively, may be substantially free and/or may be completely free of one or more of any of the elements or compounds listed in the preceding paragraph. A conversion coating composition and/or a coating or layer, respectively, formed therefrom that is substantially free of hexavalent chromium or derivatives thereof means that hexavalent chromium or derivatives thereof are not intentionally added, but may be present in trace amounts, such as due to impurities or unavoidable environmental contamination. In other words, the amount of material is so small that it does not affect the properties of the conversion composition; in the case of hexavalent chromium, this may also comprise elements or compounds thereof being present in the conversion composition and/or in the coating or layer respectively formed therefrom at such levels as not to burden the environment. The term "substantially free" means that the conversion coating composition and/or a coating or layer, respectively, formed therefrom contains less than 10ppm, based on the total weight of the composition or layer, respectively, of any or all of the elements or compounds listed in the preceding paragraph, if any.

The conversion coating composition may also include a source of free fluorine. As used herein, the term "free fluorine" refers to fluoride ion alone. The source of free fluorine in the conversion coating composition can be derived from the source of the lanthanide, group VIB, group IIIB, and/or group IVB metals used in the conversion coating composition. The source of free fluorine in the conversion coating composition may be derived from a source of a group VIB metal used in the conversion coating composition, such as, for example, hexafluorozirconic acid and/or hexafluorotitanic acid and salts thereof. When the conversion coating composition is applied to at least a portion of the interior surface of a metal can, the fluorine in the hexafluorozirconic acid and/or hexafluorotitanic acid will be free fluorine as the group IVB metal is deposited on the metal substrate of the can, and the free fluorine content of the conversion coating composition will increase over time if not controlled as the metal is treated with the conversion coating composition.
The lanthanide, group VIB metal, group IIIB metal, and/or group IVB metal used in the conversion coating composition for forming the conversion coating can be present in the form of a fluorinated metal ion, e.g., zrF 6 - . When the fluorided metal ions react with the substrate and the components hydrolyze to form oxides, the fluoride ions may be released as free fluorine. As more fluoride ions are released into the bath and the free fluorine content increases, the equilibrium of the deposition reaction begins to move away from oxide formation in the opposite direction of the fluorinated metal ions, in other words, the solubility of this component increases and the formation of the conversion coating film becomes more difficult.
In an example, the source of free fluorine can include one of the group IVB metal compounds described above. In other examples, the source of free fluorine may include compounds other than lanthanides, group VIB metal compounds, group IIIB metal compounds, and/or group IVB metal compounds. The source of free fluorine may include any fluorine-containing compound including monofluorides, bifluorides, fluorine complexes and mixtures thereof known to generate fluoride ions.
